Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.25 cup Rolled oats
• 0.25 cup Cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.75 cups Buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the waffles light and fluffy.

Step 5

Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron plates with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 6

Pour the batter onto the center of the waffle iron (amount depends on the size of your waffle iron, usually around 1/2 to 3/4 cup per waffle). Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly if necessary.

Step 7

Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 4 to 6 minutes per batch, depending on your waffle iron.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the finished waffles to a wire rack to keep them crisp while you prepare the remaining waffles. Avoid stacking to prevent sogginess.

Step 9

Serve the waffles immediately with toppings of your choice, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream.
